UK - Runaway aristocrat Constance Marten and her lover Mark Gordon have today been sentenced to 14 years in jail after being convicted of killing their baby.
The millionaire and her rapist boyfriend went on the run with their baby daughter to prevent her being taken into care sparking a £1.2million national manhunt.
The couple's four other children had already been taken into care to protect them from harm before they fled with their fifth baby Victoria, camping in the freezing cold.
Marten was today sentenced to 14 years behind bars. Gordon was also sentenced to 14 years in jail, with the judge ordering that he serves an extended sentence of four years due to his 'dangerousness'.
The judge said it was likely they would serve two thirds of their sentences.
Marten, 38, let out a heavy sigh as she was sentenced. Gordon, 51, stared straight ahead as his sentence was read out.
The pair had earlier been reprimanded by the judge for a 'complete lack of respect' after they were seen passing notes.
In July they were convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence, child cruelty, concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice in an extraordinary case lasting two years which has cost taxpayers around £2.8million.
